Well, Seid is a right wing American Jew. He gave $18 million to Clarion Fund for this film not as a “right wing person” but as a “right wing Jew.” If Seid were not Jewish he wouldn’t care about the film or promoting it.

What’s racist about acknowledging this? Seid for sure is racist toward Muslims (or at best ignorant). But Bolles statement was not.

I recommend an article “Islamophobia as the new anti-semitism” by The Magnes Zionist that I’ve already posted but that was maybe before your time :-).
Jerry Haber writes among other interesting things:

“It is a sign of the Jews making it in America that with Islamophobia on the rise, many Jews now feel confortable about joining their erstwhile enemies, the nativist (old) anti-semitic bigots, in common cause against the newcomer religion”. Later on, he writes “Take it from me – it’s all about Israel”.

And if you know about Jerry Haber (his pen name) you wouldn’t call him a racist.
BUT I do admit: there are things that is better accepted when it comes from an insider, and that’s the same in all communities.

PS. Judeophobia is NOT calling some-one a ‘right-wing Jew’. If you said ‘all Jews are right-wing’, yes, certainly.
If I say ‘a corrupt Palestinian’ about Mahmoud Abbas or Dahlan, does it make me an Palestino-phobic person ?

You don’t get away with accusing people who criticize Jewish bigots of being bigoted for identifying them as Jewish. Seid’s Jewish background and Zionist beliefs are directly relevant to Seid’s hostility toward Muslims.

Certainly, the first of these two characteristics, Seid’s religion, would not have been relevant if Seid and other uber-Zionists had not been indiscriminately accusing almost all critics of Israel as “anti-semitism.” However, once Zionists, the Israeli government, the ADL and B’nai B’rith started to equate criticism of Israel with criticism of all Jews, they implicitly argued that all Jews are Zionists.

In short, for self-serving political purposes, many Jews blurred important distinctions between Judaism and Zionism, thereby making Seid’s Jewish faith and Zionist political beliefs directly relevant and – disastrously for Jews everywhere – provided anti-semites with material for an updated version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

I think these “right wing” Jews are Jewish by name only. They are the types that join groups like “Jews for Jesus”. Essentially Extremist Evangelical Christian Jews. The Jewish community has it’s greatest ally in the Muslims if they only understood it. Muslims have so much in common with Jews, however this kind of thing has happened before. In Cordoba Spain when the Muslims and Jews lived peacefully and made a lot of progress, many of the Jews allowed/helped the Kingdoms of Aragon and Castille against the Spanish Caliphate. This is sad, because majority of the greatest Jewish books written by the likes of Maimonides was written during that time with the help of the Muslims. Also, don’t forget the Ottoman Turks who saved the Jews from the Crusader onslaught in Europe who had become Anti-Semetic. Where Islamophobia goes, so does Anti-Semitism.

who cares who funded the dvd distribution, this happened in 2008 and mccain didnt win the election. freedom of speech and freedom to ignore. anyone with half a brain knows not all muslims are radicals or terrorists. move on people to real news

I work for Barre and can tell you a bit about him. First of all, he doesn’t have a selfish bone in his body. His only interest in gaining wealth is to give it away to worthy causes.

He has a very open and intellectually curious mind, and has been brainwashed by Steinhart and the Israelis into believing that the Muslims have always been bloody and have always wanted to convert the world by the sword.

He is educable, but for now he’s very brainwashed on this particular idea. If you stop buying his products, not only will I be out of a job, but then he’ll sell the business and be in full time philanthropy which might not be a good thing if he continues to support causes like this.
